CEOs bet up to $10 million to prove Elon Musk's AI prediction wrong | Elon Musk predicts AI will surpass human intelligence by the end of next year


Startup founder Gary Marcus started a bet against Elon Musk over his AI predictions. It's since grown to $10 million.

"For years, a lot of the people in the tech industry have been making claims that feel implausible to me from a scientific perspective," Marcus told BI. Marcus said he thinks people need to understand what is actually realistic — and large language models are not going to be smarter than humans in the next five years, he said. Musk said during a live interview with Norges Bank CEO Nicolai Tangen on X, formerly Twitter, that AI is the fastest advancing technology he's ever seen, with barely a week going by without a new announcement.
